Free Tools Convert Documents into EBooks

November 4, 2011

It is Friday and something only tangential to search—eBooks.

Here’s an interesting idea: KillerStartups has listed “2ePub.com – Create Ebooks for Free.” EPub has become the most popular file format for reading devices, but that isn’t the only format to which this tool will convert your Doc or PDF document. Even Kindle’s proprietary format is covered.

There are actually several tools out there that will convert your file into an ePub document for free. A few other choices include ePubConverter.org, Online-Convert.com, and Lulu EPUB Converter. The last of these even promises to fix “pesky errors” for you.

The write-up describes what is different about 2ePub:

The site’s not only usable for free, it can also be used without having to sign up for an account first. All you have to do is to select the files that you want to have converted for the job to be done before you can even snap your fingers. And you can select as many as five different files at the same time, too.

This may or may not be the best option for you if you have the next Great American Novel just waiting to be converted into an eBook for all to read; check out several options.

The fact that so many options exist for converting files does emphasize how far down the digital road we have traveled.
